Open Security Foundation
The Open Security Foundation is a non-profit 501c3 organization established in early 2005 to function as a support organization for open source security projects. It was originally conceived and founded as a support for the OSVDB project, but its scope is evolving to provide support for numerous other projects.
The foundation allows organizations and individuals to provide charitable contributions to support open source security projects that provide value to the global community. The foundation also provides guidance, legal, administrative, policy guidelines, and other support to numerous projects.
The Open Security Foundation was conceived by Chris Sullo, Brian Martin, and Jake Kouns in early 2004, and obtained official US 501(c)3 non-profit status in April, 2005.
